Taking time to hear from God’s word on a daily basis is an essential ingredient to growing in the Christian life. However, it is not always something we find easy to do. The pressures of life and work can creep in and before we know it, it’s bedtime.

Having a resource can be a real help in developing healthy habits of personal or family worship and Alistair Begg’s new daily devotional “Truth for Life” is a great companion. The format is well thought out with a main reading and comment. It is followed by an additional section of scripture which can be read if time permits deeper thought and reflection. There is also a bible through the year reading plan incorporated at the bottom of the page.  

I highly recommend this book and will be using this my house in the year ahead. Alistair hits the sweet spot of profound truth communicated in a straightforward manner, leading the reader to love Jesus more.  

Perhaps it is something that your home groups could commit to using in the year ahead.
